Carla Gilberta Bruni Tedeschi was born in Turin, Piedmont, Italy, into a family deeply rooted in the arts. Her legal father is Italian composer Alberto Bruni Tedeschi, and her mother is Italian concert pianist Marisa Borini. Later in life, Bruni publicly revealed that her biological father is Maurizio Remmert, an Italian-born Brazilian businessman and long-time family friend, who had an affair with her mother during her marriage.
Carla Bruni began her professional journey in the fashion industry after leaving her studies in art and architecture. She quickly rose to prominence during the 1990s, becoming one of the world's leading fashion models. Known for her elegance and poise, she worked with top designers and graced the covers of major fashion magazines globally. By the late 1990s, Bruni retired from full-time modeling to pursue a musical career. Her transition was well-received, with critics praising her debut album for its lyrical depth and charm. Carla Bruni's estimated net worth is approximately $15 million, stemming from her diverse endeavors in fashion and music.
Throughout her public life, Bruni's romantic relationships have attracted significant media attention. She was romantically linked with musician Eric Clapton, who once referred to her as the love of his life. Their relationship, however, ended after Carla began a new relationship with Mick Jagger, lead singer of The Rolling Stones—allegedly straining the friendship between the two rock icons. Bruni's connection with Jagger was complicated, as he was married to actress Jerry Hall at the time. Hall later suggested that Bruni played a role in the dissolution of their marriage.
Bruni was also briefly associated with businessman Donald Trump, although the specifics around the relationship remain disputed. Trump later claimed that she was pursuing him during his engagement to Marla Maples, which Bruni denied. Another short-lived relationship was with actor Kevin Costner. Reportedly, their relationship became complicated due to competition from fellow model Elle Macpherson, who later became Costner’s partner.
One of the more publicized episodes in Bruni's personal life involved French publisher Jean-Paul Enthoven and his son Raphael Enthoven. Initially in a relationship with Jean-Paul, Bruni later started dating Raphael, who was then married to novelist Justine Lévy. The relationship between Carla and Raphael reportedly led to the dissolution of Raphael's marriage. Bruni and Raphael were together for nearly six years and had a son, Aurélien, born in 2001. Lévy's bestselling novel, Rien de Grave (Nothing Serious), was inspired by her experiences during that time, with a character widely believed to be based on Bruni.
